I'm a free-lance writer with a patch-work portfolio from novels and short stories to plays and performance poetry - my new collection Crumbs from a Spinning World was published by Burning Eye Books in November 2016. You can find out more about this and other activities, on this website.

I live in Frome, southwest UK, where there's a lively arts scene which I aim to cover weekly in my blog. I run the Poetry Cafe, and am involved with the summer festival and the Merlin theatre. My current writing focus is stage drama, both as a playwright and a reviewer.

This summer I will be back in the fabulous Greek island of Skyros in August, and running a weekend in the Isle of Wight in the spring. I'm also open for contact from community projects or individuals.
